Sheridan awaited to board the plane. She checked her watch again, and it was the same as ten seconds before-she was leaving for a little trip to Salem. It was time to visit her friend Greta. Her and Greta became friends at a young age. Greta Von Amborg. They met in Paris, they attended the same Boarding school. They had about the same problems, it seemed. Greta had no father and Sheridan had no mother-at times they’d plan to set up Princes Gina [greta’s mother] and Sheridan’s father [alistar crane]. Whenever Sheridan felt down, Greta always made her feel so much better…this is why she was going to go to Salem. She needed her.
Sheridan had to get away, the time was just so-she was having trouble with life. She wasn’t running like a coward, but she was running because she knew she couldn’t handle seeing Beth with Luis. She had no claim on him, of course. They’d only been on one *real* date. But she did know she really did like Luis, she liked him a lot. She did, and was coming closer to admit [if she were to stay in harmony] that she was falling for Luis, hard. She couldn’t bare it, every time Luis passed her or when they came so close to kissing something came in the way…she knew it was something she wanted-and Luis seemed to want it as well-but Hank and Beth always seemed to get in the way. ‘Stop blaming other people’ sheridan scolded herself. She just wanted to tell Luis how much she wanted to be with him, but every time she tried Beth would come around looping her arms with his. It was enough to make Sheridan sick.
Sheridan continued to bit her lip and daydream while waiting for her turn to board the plane. “Oh, maybe I’ll find a hottie in Salem!” Sheridan smiled a fake smile trying to lie to herself. “I hope you don’t” said a voice behind her.
“wha-what?” Sheridan spun around to seem a very familiar handsome face, “Luis!” She exlaimed! She was all happy that he was there, and maybe it was a sign-she hadn’t told him she was going to salem…”How did you know I’d be here?”
”Oh well, you see…” Luis looked at her and smiled while trying to recap how all these little events led him to her, “I went to go see you—and I checked into your cottage…and there was a note for ethan…I didn’t mean to read it…I just saw, ‘I’ll be back in two weeks’ and I had to tell you what I needed to tell you…’cause…” Luis trailed off looking at Sheridan who was raising an eyebrow at him, “what?” he asked.
”oh, well, I didn’t know you broke in my cottage without a warrant!” sheridan smiled as a signal to show she was joking.
”No!” Luis answered defensive, “I went there to see…”
”Awww…to see me?” Sheridan answered, child like.
”well, not really..but yeah, sorta…SORT OF….I mean-I really wanted to ask you something…” Luis looked shy, turning a little red.
”Hmmm, what could you possibly have to ask me?” Sheridan playing dumb, but her heart was racing 100000 miles per minute!
”Well…I wanted to ask you-if y’know…maybe…you wanted to go out with me some time…well…now, I’m not….yeah…you don’t have to…”
Sheridan smiled at his stammering, “of course Luis!” Sheridan put down her bag, “I’d love that…”
Luis smiled as well, “um, sheridan…why are you going to Salem?”
Sheridan tried to collect herself, after all she was being asked out by the hottest guy in Harmony, “oh…” She remembered her reasons…to get away from Luis and beth, which brought many questions to her mind after being asked out by him, “-to see a friend-Luis-aren’t you wth Beth?”
Luis raised his eyebrows in confusion, “Um, no. beth and I were finished ages ago-I made my feelings with her clear…I mean, I’ll admit that, at first when she came on to me I thought maybe I do-but-I realized it was the past…besides there was someone else I kinda wanted instead.” Luis realized what he said and went back to correct himself, “oh that sounds bad, I meant, there was someone else that I sort of had a “crush” on…”
Sheridan smiled realizing it was her, “and who would that be?”
”I’ll give you a hint…”
”hmm…okay…”
”She’s very beautiful, inside and out…”
”oooooh, that’s gotta be-“
”She’s fun to be around, she loves lobster….and she dances an amazing tango!”
Sheridan giggled, “Oh I don’t know…” She melted at Luis words. She moved in and wrapped her arms around him for a big hug, “luis,” she whispered, “hmm, I’m glad you came to ask me out…but my flight is boarding…in 2 minutes…”
Luis looked at Sheridan who looked as though she was going to cry, “I’m just so happy Luis…I really like you…” she admitted. Luis smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek. “I really like you Sheridan…you’re a special woman…” Sheridan returned a kiss on his cheek as she began to walk away. “Why aren’t you flying your own plane Sheridan?” Luis teased.
”Oh…yknow, I don’t know why…but now that I think of it…that might be better…”
”Why? You’ve already got your ticket-you’re leaving very soon…”
”Oh I forgot something anyway.”
”Oh what?”
”you!” Sheridan replied laughing, “there’s no way I’m leaving you here in Harmony so someone can…Luis, I’ve got a question..” Sheridan looked a little uneasy.
”What is it?” Luis smiled.
”Are we….going steady….I mean you don’t have to…or anything….” Sheridan trailed off.
”How can we go steady if we haven’t even kissed ye-“ Sheridan cut Luis off by pulling him into a passionate kiss. “you win, steady it is!”
Sheridan smiled, and she was a little red after what she had just done, “sorry.”
”Don’t be…I wanted it-I guess I just didn’t have the guts to do it.” Luis smiled bending over to pick up one of her bags, “Um, what did you mean me?”
Sheridan looked at him and picked up her other bag, “Luis, come with me, we’re going for a little trip to Salem…”
”Sheridan! I don’t even have any clothes!”
”Oh you won’t need it!” Sheridan said quickly.
”oh…okay…then….where we going?”
Sheridan led luis to where the crane’s jets were left. She geared ‘em up and they were on their way…[no notice or anything, y’know..just like sante fe]
Finally Sheridan and Luis arrived in Salem. Sheridan stepped out of the cab first running to the trunk while Luis chuckled following. Luis paid the cab driver as the walked into a little hotel. [let’s say it was the same one lilly was in]. They began to unload and unwind when they realized there was only one bed. It was a king, but they knew it was only ONE bed. Sheridan lookedat Luis who was looking at her. “We’re grown ups!” Sheridan announced, “we could handle it.” Sheridan was trying to convince herself, but everytime she looked at Luis she thought of her dreams…her very erotic dreams. She sat on the bed, captivated in the memory of one of her favourite fantasies of Luis. She sat her legs were dangling just touching the floor…her legs were slightly spread. Luis crawled overto her, “Sheridan…” he whispered slowly. He went to her and shook her shoulders slightly, “sheridan…?” He smiled, she was in a daze. Finally she snapped out of it and responded, “yeah Luis?” Luis was kneeling on the floor, kind of right there between her legs, the thought of the position corssed luis’ mind and he backed up a little, not very much, “What were you thinking sheridan?”
Sheridan smiled, “Hmmm, I was thinking happy thoughts…”
Luis put his arms around her waist, “Oh…”
”yeah” She was in a giggly dreamy state, “Luis…I am so happy you’re here with me…because I really like you…and…sometimes I even think I’m….” Luis smiled as she trailed off, “Sheridan…are you ticklish?”
”No” She answereed a little too quickly.
”I don’t believe you!” luis reached over to her belly and began to tickle her. “hahahahaha” Sheridan cried in laughter, “stop, please Luis stop!” he knocked her onto the bed, slightly onto of her ticking her like mad, she kicked her legs slightly, “Oooh, no need to get violent miss crane”
Finally Luis collapsed on the side of her, “you’re so mean Luis!” Sheridan cried…she brought her arm across him and pulled him into a little hug…”but I’m meaner!” Sheridan began to tickle him and she sat on his stomach to gain total control as she tickled him double the speed…sheridan began laughing like crazy herself as she collapsed onto of him…
”This is nice…” Luis commented.
”It is.” Sheridan sighed, leaning on his chest.
”Could I kiss you?” Luis asked politely.
”yes” sheridan answered happily, as she pulled upward and began kissing his mouth slowly. Slowly their kiss increased with hunger for passion. Luis began kissing Sheridans neck as she moaned lightly. He looked up to find her gazing into his eyes. He looked at her for approval, and she nodded and signaled for him to continue. They began kissing, everything together, like music. Sheridan began unbuttoning Luis’s shirt and they both knew what they wanted to do…and why they were doing it. They continued to fall deeper in love as seconds passed.
Sheridan was nude but covered up, as was Luis, when she decided to stop it all,”Luis…” She began between kisses, “stop for a second?”
”Why?” Luis kissed her.
”I need to know something Luis…before we go on…” Sheridan had a serious look on her face and her not responding to the last kiss told Luis something.
”What is it Sheridan?”
”Luis…I don’t like to sleep-I don’t sleep with just anyone…I want to know why you’re doing this?”
Luis smiled, “why do you think I’m doing this sheridan?”
”I don’t know…but I know why I’m doing it.”
”Good, because I’m doing this because I love you…and I want to show you that…”
A teare dribbled down her cheek, “Luis, I love you too…” As he heard that, he remembered something.
”Sheridan just a second?”
”Su-“ Luis was up and went into his coat pocket and brought back a piece of paper.
”Sheridan, I wrote this for you.”
A smile spread across her face, “what is it?!”
”Wiat, wait, you can’t see it…”
”Oh and why not?”
”because I’m not finished yet…”
”Then why did you bring it out?”
”’cause I was just inspired to write the last verse!”
”Oh alright….but…” Luis scribbled down something on the paper, “now I get to read it!” Sheridan squealed.
”oh okay…” Luis handed it to her.
She read:
[Um, I wrote this…as…yeah, I didn’t steal it, I wrote it…]
Her eyes are the answer, to my questions
the touch of her skin heals me
No one in this world, can make me feel
as real, or make beauty as beautiful to see
As she
She is the answer
to my prayers
She is the reason for my heart
It beats for her, and only her
And no one can make me feel as sure
Of love then she
[the last part scribbled in blue pen]
And the love I feel around her
The love I long to give
I love her more, each day
I want to be with her to see the world, to see my life
forever and always
To be with her, plan I to do
Now I know, she loves me too
Sheridan smiled at Luis tears brimming down. “I was never any good at english…especially the poetry unit..y’know…” Luis blushed slightly.
”I think it’s beautiful…” Sheridan trailed off as Luis began to kiss her, she fell gracefully back onto the bed…as they began to make love for the first time.
Sheridan lay peacefully in Luis’ arms. She was sleeping, so quiet and innocent. “I love you so much Sheridan.” Luis whispered.
Suddenly, the door began to open and no one but _________ was standing there….
To be continued….[it’s gonna have some bo/hope stuff…and Eric and Greta…and a little bit of Shawn d and me…[hahahhaha]
